Why did Woodward lie?

So why does a veteran journalist with his credibility lie to the American public so brazenly about the Plame leak....


My theory: Since the suspicion was focused so heavily on the White House, he lied to keep up the pressure.

Any other theories...

A reporter trying to make the news...the cardinal sin.

Re: Why did Woodward lie?

Because he's a reporter dealing with politicians. They're all lying scum.

What's that phrase about dealing with monsters for too long and eventually becoming one of them?

Re: Why did Woodward lie?

Which lie are you referring to? The media lies to us all the time. Certain media more than others. Most do it for a price. Some do it for fame. Others do it to protect someone else.

Re: Why did Woodward lie?

He appeared on Larry King, and denied that he knew of Plame's identity. When it became clear that he did indeed know it at that time, he admitted it, and apologized.

I'm not really interested in more wholesale indictments of journos in general, as we've plowed that ground before. This thread is specifically to solicit opinions as to why Woodward lied in this case.
